Did you know he's actually building a drift car?? An artical in Super Street and interview with him said he was. Is this going to be the end of his Drag career?? hmm...... Damn mainstream.

I guess it makes sense though...i mean if your living is made being a driver, go where the money is, right?

I wonder what kind of car he's going to come out with?? Maybe a 240?? Hope not I hope he comes out with a chaser or something.....that would be funny to see him drift a chaser.

Nothing wrong with S2000s But drifting one would look kinda funny, maybe cuz you never see them drifted

Well maybe thats about to change? They are RWD,and hella light with ashitton of power and a 6 sp manual,right? And they do come with a factory LSD ,right ? And its Vtech....ricer boys converting to the bandwagon would be in heaven

I like S2ks at least :p

there was a sponsored S2k at DD15, it did ok. It has same problems as a miata, short wheel base and harder to control. But hey, if they can drift a semi, i'm sure they can drift a S2K.

whatever, i personally doubt drifting will ever be as mainstream/popular as drag racing nor generate as much $$ for potiential drivers.

the reason s2's have a hard time drifitng is the fact that they have all time traction control... if you don't disable this (usually with a stand alone ecu), or overcome it with sheer power (which would be upredictable) it's hard to drift. i think tsuchiya drifted a s2 on an option video, but it had the traction control disabled...

Not to mention S2Ks have shit for torque. :)
I've seen clips of Keiichi drifting a red S2K from a while back (probably when the 2k first came out), as well as a clip of orido spinning out and hitting the tire wall in one. Funny stuff!

First off who cares about who is building a drift car and who cares if he/she uses a 240SX?

Second, if anyone knew Stephan, you would know that one of his street cars was a 240SX back in the 90's...probably before a lot of you got your drivers licenses...

yah who cares. Lol. As long as APC stays out and doesnt claim they are drift experts within a few months.. *oh wait, thats already happening..*..

Im more pissed about these overnight *Drift* tshirt companys that pop out of no where.

iirc he said he had a civic that he brought to the street races....never heard him say a 240 though. It was also in a couple of articals

Oh....it doesn't have an off button or something? I still like 'em! I'm not really a drifter though,but I do like your classic doughnut or burnout :)

Anybody seen the new Mazdaspeed Turbo Miata trying to drift?
